Annie Gaus
Annie Gaus covers the intersection of technology, markets and local power, bringing a business reporter’s discipline to stories about large tech platforms and the policies that govern them. She now covers the technology industry for The Information, informed by years of reporting on tech stocks, consumer technology and the stock market. Her career spans text, video and columns across business, technology and politics, which gives her coverage a mix of market literacy and civic context.
Large-cap tech stocks and Silicon Valley companies
Gaus has covered large-cap technology stocks with a particular focus on the major consumer platforms often grouped as FAANG, writing analysis and columns on how those companies trade and where their businesses are headed.
Her market-focused reporting has followed West Coast technology companies through IPOs, earnings cycles and shifts in investor sentiment, including ride-hailing offerings and other high-profile Silicon Valley listings. Across business publications she has reported on corporate finance and the stock market, connecting company fundamentals to broader movements in technology indices. That experience informs her current technology coverage, which treats big technology firms as financial actors as much as product makers.
Consumer technology, platforms and privacy
Beyond markets, Gaus has written extensively about consumer technology, from gaming and new apps to social platforms that shape everyday behaviour. Her work has examined issues such as Facebook privacy controversies, looking at how product design and data practices translate into regulatory and reputational risk. Professional bios describe a beat that moves quickly between product news, cultural trends and feature stories about how people use technology.
As a freelancer she has ranged from stories on events like Wrestlemania to deeper examinations of evangelicalism in Silicon Valley, showing a willingness to follow how technology culture overlaps with broader social currents.
San Francisco economy, politics and public policy
Gaus has led coverage of city politics, government, public health, homelessness and the post‑Covid economy for a local outlet focused on San Francisco, taking on a wide portfolio of civic and policy stories. She founded an independent site, Public Comment SF, to track the city’s economy and policy decisions during the pandemic before merging it into a larger local newsroom.
Her reporting on municipal budgets, fiscal shortfalls and competing political factions has continued in subsequent editing and reporting roles, with particular attention to how economic decisions affect services and communities. She has also written about congressional contests tied to San Francisco, including coverage of Nancy Pelosi’s criticism of Democrat Saikat Chakrabarti as he ran for her seat.
Video journalism and explanatory formats
Gaus began her career as a video journalist, producing and hosting a daily technology and science news channel for a digital network. She has created explainer videos and short‑form multimedia features that break down complex technology stories on deadline, pairing reporting with on‑air presentation.
Professional biographies highlight her experience in writing, video producing and on‑air work, as well as occasional teaching of electronic media writing. That multimedia grounding carries into her written coverage of the technology industry for The Information, which favours clear structure, concrete examples and accessible language over insider jargon.
